A trapezoid has bases of 15 ft. and 9 ft. and a height of 8 ft. Find its area.
Choose the best answer from the options below:
A 95 ft²
B 96 ft²
C 97 ft²
D 98 ft²
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (sum of bases) * height
In this case, the sum of the bases is 15 ft + 9 ft = 24 ft. The height is 8 ft.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = (1/2) * 24 ft * 8 ft
= 12 ft * 8 ft
= 96 ft²
So, the area of the trapezoid is 96 ft².
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 96 ft².
